Rusty you made a good choice.Most of my M-77's are "All Weathers". I think you'll be more then satisfied with yours. I don't have a AW in 25-06.I have a old M-77V in 25-06 w/ the tang safety. It's unfired NIB so I can't tell you how it shoots.It's a great deer caliber.You might as well plan on having your trigger reworked.Once in awhile a decent trigger slips through.Most have the lawyer's triggers.and need to be lightened.
